Dracula XX isn't all too bad. It still holds memorable value to me being a long time CV fan. I always liked the first part of the second stage when you're traveling across the broken bridge. The rays of sunlight coming out of the clouds was an especially nice touch.  Also the character design for Annette Renard was so much better than the lavender haired Annette in Rondo.

Dracula X: Rondo of Blood is MUCH better. Dracula XX is an inferior port.
You can download and emulate both versions, to feel the difference.

I think it's a cool game, maybe a little stiff,but enjoyable and hardcore.I don't understand why people think Dracula's battle is one of the hardest,because of the cliff,uh? Well, come on,There is no need to rush, there are safely spots where you cannot die in one hit ;) From my point of view is one of the easiest(second only to bloodlines), what is challenging here is Death battle, similar to Rondo but, with less space to dodge the attacks.It take me a lot of tries before beat it.

The Dracula battle in the SNES game is so farking easy if you have an ax. Just chill at a safe level where you won't get hit and throw a couple.
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

A LOT of the graphics in XX are actually better then Rondo's, its the overall design that fails.
